CAREER QUERIES HOTLINE
Baljit Singh, Ludhiana A Modelling offers a glamorous but short-lived career which involves much hard work. It is a profession where educational qualifications are relatively insignificant and physical attributes and personal qualities assume importance. Good models are very well-paid and can make a fortune within a few years besides acquiring a celebrity status. They are also in great demand to compere live shows and anchor TV shows. Your decision to go in for modelling as a career should be based on an objective and realistic self-assessment. Depending on the assignments you get and what you enjoy doing, you can choose between ramp or live modelling; photographic (fashion) modelling or modelling for press advertisements or TV commercials. Modelling for different media calls for different attributes. While a photogenic face is essential for the print media, TV commercials require some acting skills and ramp modelling calls for stage presence, poise and a tall, slim figure to show-off the clothes to perfection. Personality Traits/Physical Attributes * Besides oodles of self-confidence and tenacity, it helps to have a glowing complexion and lustrous hair and photogenic features. Most of the top female models are tall - over 5 ft 6 inches (a must for ramp modelling) and very slim. * The ability to keep smiling and remain calm while appearing poised and interested even in a boring and back-breaking work schedule coupled with a highly disciplined lifestyle (regular exercise, sleep and diet) are the essentials you will have to master in this profession. Before you start looking for work, have a professionally shot portfolio of your pictures ready. Select two or three of the most flattering pics (profile, close-up and full-length) and have a set of copies made for handing over to fashion houses, advertising and modelling agencies, top fashion photographers, etc. Don’t stint on this investment. It is your calling card for fetching you that much needed first assignment! Q I am a second-year BA student and am interested in doing BTech in Computer Sciences.

Why do we say that? IF
people think someone has always been very rich, they will say he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The saying goes back to the 16th and 17th century when it was customary for godchildren of wealthy families to be given sets of silver spoons as christening presents. Silver remains a traditional christening present among those who can afford it, though the baby of rich parents is far less likely to be fed with a silver spoon these days.
